So just to begin Elder Plewe is a total stud. I love serving with him. He has already taught me so much. Me and him also get along really well especially when it comes to Napoleon Dynamite quotes. Elder Plewe and I have been working really hard and we have seen a lot of great things happening.

The other day when we were on exchanges we chapped (tracted) into this Portuguese man and his wife. we had a great lesson about the book of mormon and they were super excited to read it. We went beck the next day and the wife, Rosa, let us in. Carlos, the husband, was drinking so we focused on Rosa. we found that she had a strong faith before but after a while it had withered. She use to be a nun and a opera singer. She knows Portuguese, Latin, Italian, and a little english. She said that 3 or so weeks ago she made up her mind that there is no god. When we came by something she felt the spirit and she felt like she was having her faith grow again. We have met with Rosa 4 times this last week. The last time we were over there the spirit was so apparent. We asked her if she would be baptized. Rosa said she would but she wanted to know more before she set a date. I know that she will be baptized because she is so amazing. She wants to be baptized and she is always talking about the spirit that is there whenever we come and she says that she wants what we have. Satan isn't going to let her get it easy though. He is working so hard on her. Right when we started coming over her Job wants her to start working on sundays. But I have faith that she will do what is right.

We were also able to see Lena twice this last week. During the lesson I got the impression to bring up the word of wisdom I thought it was weird, but I followed. For some reason when we were talking about the word of wisdom the spirit was there. We didn't say anything that was really profound but the spirit was there. We then asked her if she will be Baptized on the 19th of September...and she said yes!

The Lords is blessing the Scotland Ireland mission so much. this is a Baptizing mission. my biggest pet peeve is when people say that nobody accepts the gospel over here but that is a load of rubbish. The field is white, already to harvest. It isn't brown ready for us to plant seeds. planting seeds will happen as a byproduct of us harvesting. Our district is having great things happening and I think it is all because of the faith of the elders.

I love you all. I am always praying for you. I hope that you all have faith in our Savior because in Him we can do all things.
